I have had 2 major back injuries before, close to a year of physical therapy for those 2, so my back was already in bad shape. I was moving a box that didnt really weigh much, maybe 25 lbs or so? not sure. I just lifted it wrong I guess. It didnt hurt that much when it happened, just felt the muscles pull. when I woke up this morning, I coulnt bend, twist, or lift anything without excruciating pain. I will go to the doc on Monday if it still hurts. Possibly get my 2nd workers comp claim in less than a year.

All I want for Christmas is Sharpies and Rit Dye!!!!

I am not a tall guy, and i got fairly long arms, but I cant even touch my knees without it hurting. I think that if I go to the doc and get some good pain pills and some muscle relaxers, I might be good to go. I played my 2nd round at the WOX with an ankle I could barely walk on, so I can tough it out. That ended up being a spider bite, still got a dime sized scar from that

dude, as a guy who specializes in the human anatomy, an ankle is a heck lot different than your back. An ankle limits you in walking, a back limits you in just about everything. I would definitely get a doctor to look at that before deciding what the extent of the injury is. If it is actual torn muscles, that is a long road to recovery, maybe surgery. But i hope for just strained muscles or pulled..

I am going to see how it feels on MOnday. if it still hurts, i will consult a doc. But, I have a good feeling its just a strain or pull. still gonna see a doc so I can get some muscle relaxers at least.

Welcome to my world man. I've been dealing with pain like this for years. Since i have no disc in my lower spine, it locks up quite frequently. I'm sure you will be good to go for this weekend. Just take it easy and stretch it lightly.

I just wanted to make an announcement that 2009 Stumptown Bag Tags will be available for $10 at the tournament. This will be the first bag tag match of 2009. To be included in the match please pay for your tag during check in. I'll also be selling tags after the second round.

I want to thank Kel Carver for his hard work in getting these tags completed. Kel did most of the prep work and did a great job on this years design. This year's tag is double sided and has a changing color scheme depending on the number you hold. You should be able to judge the approximate number of a tag from a distance.
